[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6693653, member: 5143"] I certainly don't think I did anything anywhere near his level of immaturity. That's exactly the point. I'm trying to find a way to resolve this by talking like rational people, to find a solution that will make everyone happy. But I take a huge offense when someone screams at me like that. There's no reasonable explanation for it. Anyone who does it needs to take some responsibility for their behaviour. Demanding an apology won't remedy the situation, that's for sure. But it's a start. It shows that he acknowledges he did something wrong and that, at the very least, he is attempting to correct his behaviour. I understand having a temper. I even understand someone who has difficulty controlling that anger and sometimes lashes out without meaning to. I'd be willing to forgive an outburst or two as long as after the outburst it seemed like he understood the behaviour was wrong and felt bad about it. To me, whether I get an apology or not is the difference between him being a complete psychopath and not caring about the feelings of those around him and someone who has difficulty controlling his emotions. Besides, I would never ask him for an apology. I plan on asking his girlfriend if he would apologize to me. Which is a little different. If she says there's no way that'll happen, I'll have my answer. [/QUOTE]
